thank fuck, was about to make one.
thanks OP

Third for Mercenaries

If you don't do this for your CoC mod folder, then you deserve to have bad luck when hunting for artifacts.

>arsenal overhaul

what's smarch config?

Makes the flashlight go a little farther, and makes weapons do more damage.

AO has more guns than STCoP.

>More equals better

Can someone confirm that 1.4.12 is more reliable and stable than 4.10?

Besides there is some change in reliability in updating it from 1.4.10 and downloading it all over again?

yes. i've played about 6+ hours on new patch and only had one CTD pertaining to wrap_oal.dll

Does A.I benefit from having upgrades on a weapon?
I.e if I upgrade a weapon to have +15 rounds in the mag and an A.I character picks it up does it benefit them?

In this case, yes. CoC benefits from variety. Besides STCoP is on the same level of quality as AO3, so...

SHOKER 3 for CoC when?

So, what is modding? Do you have to know code to make a mod? Is it just using the game's engine and resources combined with what you're able to code to make new things?

as soon as he finishes compiling a new rootkit

or just use chrome

>Besides STCoP is on the same level of quality as AO3

i would hope so considering most of the weapons in AO are from older versions of stcop/stcs,shoker

Is there any way to increase probability to get mutant parts in misery? tired of having to kill 5 controllers just to get one brain sample

Yes.

Yeah

You absolutely most definitely want to redownload the whole mod for 1.4.12.
There's a shitload of optimized textures in the new build. It turns out that high res Atmosfear textures were used in the 1.4.0 build and that was the biggest cause for Out of Memory crashes.

I literally never understood why people opt for these weapon mods. The inaccuracy is actually quite realistic and damage is completely fine. You kill a non armored person to the head with the makarov with one bullet and a well placed shotgun shot to the torso.

but the weapons look, feel and sound like shit

Not necessarily. Simple changes involve messing with configuration files like prices and quests, with more serious stuff needing a dev kit.

I have come back to liking the balance of the vanilla weapons but I like the fact that if I want to have different weapon mods, I CAN.

And sometimes the weapons feel kinda terribly balanced, like shotguns are flat put worthless in CS.

Weapons mods are good but generally I prefer vanilla if the weapon mod isn't consistent in quality.

do what

y'all motherfuckers need OWR

>OWR
>no gunz

:^)

And realistic doesnt mean fun game play to an extent

this is getting intense boys.

OWR doesn't use vanilla gunplay or balance, it has the best damage model of all the three instead

BIG BROTHER FUCK OFF.

i hope you used that grenade and tried to kill it

godspeed, user

Third run now. We Duty in AWH start.

>go to bloodcyka village for the good loots

Has the new patch made the northern territories stable?

Can I still use the staple mods with it?

Goddamn even the fucking Military are here.

Waitaminute, I'm dumb. Just Freedom. But hey, that fucking loot though.

This M14 is doing me wonders.

the sights are skewed to the right and it's triggering me

Time to head to the bar.

>that scope alignment
the horror

playing amk, need to go to the garbage but some faggot soldiers are sitting at the level change checkpoint and oneshot me all the way to the irradiated truck wreck, even at night (pitch back, can't see shit unless i aim the flashight at my feet), can't even get close enough to spam grenades and hope for the best like i did at the train overpass

...

Clear Sky with DX10 goes to a black screen (inputs and sound still seem to work) when I leave the starting house. Is this that Windows update thing? I installed an optional patch with SRP which was supposed to fix that without removing the update.

So whats this about bugs in northern regions? Should I just stick to 1.3 till it gets fixed?

>So whats this about bugs in northern regions?
atmosfear sky textures make xray engine shit the bed because of memory limitations, the 1.4.12 repack comes with "optimized" (shittier) ones so less crashes

Would ph_crash_speed min/max basically be the distance you can fall before taking damage/dying? I wanted to reduce the fall height you can take before getting hurt it seems too far in vanilla CoC.

yes

don't die again you fucks

hey....

now that looks comfy as fuck

...

So I installed the DX patch from the OP which stopped it from crashing at the start, but it still goes black sometimes and has to be restarted. Is this a common problem? is there a fix?

yes, the fix is removing KB2670838

that fix did not work for me.

Anyone play Stalker Online?

develop

>yes, the fix is removing KB2670838
I don't think that's ever been the accepted fix. Removing it breaks Aero's compositing and creates other problems. If it's just this update why doesn't everybody have this problem? Is everybody using DX9?

Am I too tired or did I just hear a Hitler speech playing on the speakers at Rostok?

>Removing it breaks Aero's compositing and creates other problems

bullshit. i know this becuase i removed it and aero behaves exactly as it did without the damn thing.
what other problems??

>If it's just this update why doesn't everybody have this problem?

they do.
why do you think it's been in the OP for quite some time.

alot of people do suggest dx9 over dx 10 or dx11
dx11 was rushed in stalker games apparently

you are like a little baby
watch this

>bullshit. i know this becuase i removed it and aero behaves exactly as it did without the damn thing.
how is the vsync with aero? have you paid much attention to it?

>why do you think it's been in the OP for quite some time
the solution provided in the OP doesn't even fix all the crashes

how is the vsync with aero? have you paid much attention to it?

nope

>the solution provided in the OP doesn't even fix all the crashes

the "fix" didnt work for me at all.
the only thing that did was removing that update.

the solution was changed
here is an old thread
boards.fireden.net/vg/thread/117326223/#q117396269

"Reminder that MS Update KB2670838 breaks your DX10/11 games including Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat. You can safely uninstall it."

so yeah that has been the solution for quite some time

Duty, or freedom?

merc or loner.

Duty

Loner.

Whats in the STCOP itemsoup? Also they still haven't toned down the helicopter laser cannons? I just lost a good merc to that shit.

same shit that is in the AO item soup.
food, meds, money, item cludge, repair items for weapons and armor
and some other fixes that havent been added to the official release of stcop yet
read the changelog, might help explain it better

since when are blacks allowed into the zone

When the emission saves your but just in time.

Who made this mod?
i have a friend who get get it taken off moddb

>black monolithian?
Where is this and what mod?

it's CoC

WE WUZ C-CON AND SHEEEIIIT

must be a lighting or graphical bug

this guy is definitely black

AYO HOL UP
SO YOU BE SAYIN
*spins head in circles*
HOL UP, HOL UP
*praises the monolith*
SO YOU BE SAYIN WE WUZ MONOLITH AND SHEIT?
*fires RPG point blank at pseudogiant*

>CoC was made by an actual cuck
I'm not even surprised to be honest

>how can loners even compete?

Where is this at?

monolith base in pripyat agricultural center or watever

thats the mechanic next to the monolith trader.

thanks.

>Only nigger in the game
>Brain washed by a shiny rock

...

Why is it that my CoC doesn't even start after installation of itemsoup AO3 from the mega? I installed AO3 and it worked but the AO3 itemsoup stops it dead.

Well clearly you fucked up, user.
Itemsoup bro would not release a broken mod.

It's not fair man, I wanna try 1.4, I didnt have this issues for 1.3

seems fine to me, mang

post your log m8

At lowest quality settings, i don't really notice the difference. :^)

Bump

Where did everyone go?

sleep

Is there a version of Warfare that works with CoC 1.4.1X ?

I tried the one on the repo (Not the brand new repo, just the link in the OP) and it crash when I start a new game.

Asleep

Did they change the Doctor's location in the newest version? I couldn't find him in Clear Sky's base.

He walks around the swamps, but in the mornings/evenings he can be found in the Clear Sky bunkhouse

we 1.4.14 nao
moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/downloads/coc-1414-patch

It hasn't updated yet

What the fuck, I've just finished installing 1.4.12 and I barely play it.

neither has weaponsoup


then wat are you complaining about?
